discovery 300tdi anti roll bars

<< < (2/6) > >>

clbarclay:
As well as reducing body roll. The anti roll bars on a discovery also reduce understeer.

lambert:
how about take the arb's of then slow down a bit on road? mine does not have any and drives nice and flat and does not slide into ditches even in the rain, but equally i don't ask it to fly down the road like a porsche 911 turbo. just a thought.

wizard:
Handling like a turd is a bit harsh..................

It really depends on what suspension you have fitted.
If you still have the original shocks and springs on a 10 to 12 year old Disco then yes it will handle faily crap once you take off the anti roll bars.

However if you have uprated springs and shocks you will only notice a slight difference when cornering on the road. It will wallow a bit but  it wont be excessive.
I took the front arb off my Disco because I kept snapping the mounting when "playing" And to be honest the only difference I noticed was the extra travel on the suspension. But saying this it does have heavy duty +2 springs and twin OME shocks on.

Mine doesn't. I've kept the anti roll bars and it seems fine off road too. I'm just running Britpart standard height HD springs (cross fingers and see how they last!), de Carbon shocks and polybushes. Doesn't seem to be too stiff or harsh and it didn't bat an eyelid at some axle twisty bits on a lane last weekend.

Even on M/Ts it was able to reel in a Range Rover Sport a few months ago...

Range Rover Blues:
You have to remember the ARBs were designed (in retrospect) for A STANDARD RRC, where they make alomost no measureable difference to the RTI.

As soon as you modifiy the suspension with say a lift, you have to condsider if the ARB will flex enough to keep up with the new, longer travel you have achieved.

I run plus 2" all round with ProComp shocks, I have 2 ARB at the back and I can still get the springs out of their seats.  The front end it a little too stiff though so I planning to remove the polybushes and go back to rubber, the softest I can fit in fact.

Later I plan to design and make some disconnects, that'll have to wait until I can get to the machines at my new job.
